What is a veteran? Poll.

我看到在这个网站和其他几个the Blazers need a veteran. What exactly is the definition of this so-called veteran? Just getting a veteran to have one is a mistake. I think the question is about getting a good veteran that has been a part of winning teams. Someone mentioned it here before concerning James Posey being the next Robert Horry...I agree with that. Having someone around that is always prepared, knows where to be, plays decent and tough defense, not afraid to take huge shots, and (for the most part) leaves their ego behind to better the team. I would 100% agree that the Blazerswillneed someone of that caliber in the future. All of the teams Posey and Horry have played with had veteran superstars on their teams (Shaq, Kobe, Shaq again, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, KG, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce), and they became the complimentary player...the cherry on top. It seems the Blazers have to develop theirfuture superstars, and then bring in that complimentary piece. I think Posey may be a decent choice, but having Posey come in now may be a disaster. As far as having players help coach and teach the younger players, the Blazers have some veterans that have been around the league and some home-grown veterans as well.
